Why You Need this Service

Gambling-related harm is rising rapidly within elite sport, often hidden behind performance pressure, sponsorship deals, and cultural silence. Young athletes are particularly vulnerable to addictive behaviours, especially in environments where high-stakes pressure meets low gambling awareness. Our sessions deliver more than education—they help athletes build resilience, speak up, and stay focused on their long-term wellbeing.

Here are several reasons why sports organisations and clubs choose ATO’s Elite Sport workshops:
